Aan : Men At Work was movie from Madhur Bhandarkar in 2004. Akshay Kumar, Lara Dutta, Sunil Shetty, Satrughan Sinha and Raveena Tondon were appeared in lead roles. It was a crime thriller. Story revolves around mafia people and police department.
Reema Sen has appeared in an item number in this movie. Madhur Bhandarkar has shot this song in a high class bar set. Reema Sen has given very good expression as an item girl but dancing skills are a bit low.

Reema Sen In An Item Number
America's Best Dance Crew 3
This week is the Bollywood challenge. (I just want to point out that this newest Bollywood craziness is largely thanks to So You Think You Can Dance, which added it as a dance style in season 4 with a great routine.) Each crew is given a classic Bollywood style that they have to fuse with their own style. A professional Bollywood dance troupe is brought in to teach them.
The first safe crew is Massive Monkeys. Their style in Bhangra. The group is surprised to find it harder than expected. I’m going to venture to say this is the best routine of the season so far. JC says he loved their numerous change of formations and working the floor. They have some “dope” partner work. Shane says that was the confidence he expects and it’s one of their best performances. Lil Mama appreciates the energetic pace and strength. Awesome and enjoyable.
(Apparently we get a preview of the newest Bring It On movie. Quite frankly I’m shocked that they made any after the horrible second one, but it is what it is…)
Next result, done between We Are Heroes and Vogue Evolution. One is safe and one is at risk. The crew definitely back is…Vogue Evolution. Last week some serious drama went down for Vogue Evolutions. Laomi walked out of final rehearsal. Their style is Rhajastani which involves dancing with scarves. Apparently she has fits all the time and they don’t know what to. But she’s here now so they obviously dealt with it. I don’t know, I enjoy this group for their energy but I don’t think their routines are as challenging as others. Lil Mama says they’re performance was good but not great. She also says Laomi’s behavior is unacceptable. JC agrees it was okand they performed professionally despite issues. Shane says great intro and that at the end of the day it only matters what they do onstage.
Afroborhike vs Beat Ya Feet Kings vs Rhythm City. The team that is safe is…Rhythm City! And, the other guaranteed crew is…Afroborhike! So Beat Ya Feet Kingz will be competing against We Are Heroes for the final spot.
Rhythm City’s style is baranatiem (or something like that), which has the deer and the lotus (the funny hand positions) as the main style. They’re doing the predictible song Jai Ho. I would add this performance as one of the best so far as well. Definitely top two of the night so far. They really incorporated the style. Shane says “ya’ll are bad! you’re killing it!” They did great tricks and acrobatics. Lil Mama says it was the best mix of style and challenge. Phenomenal. JC says it was a good performance and the choreography was in your face. A lot of stuntwork and paid homage to the culture. Great job. (He always sounds like he’s hesitant to give good critique. I don’t know what’s up with that.)
(Time for the Bring It On Preview. Get excited. I’ll totally, shamefully see it…)
Afroborhike gets the style Khatak which is fast footwork with bells. They’re nervous. Pretty good. The stunts seemed slightly slow motion as though they were a struggle but even so. Lil Mama says it was their best performance on the show. True to selves. JC thought it was good. They gotta bring it. He loves their lifts which are artistic and creative. Shane says if he has to bash them in order to get them to dance like they just did, he will. Good job, beautiful.
Time for the faceoff. We Are Heroes are up first with the style Ghidda, which has a lot of clapping. So far they have no idea what to do and one of the girls tore a ligament in her back last week. She does a pretty good job of keeping up but the energy is not there that the other crews had. They use a few different props (including throwing their bras at the judges).
Beat Ya Feet Kingz, second, gets Garba. It’s a lot of formation and level changes. It’s much more pretty and relaxed than their style. Porche, the woman of the group, says she’s doing this for her daughter. They too seemed to be lacking energy, though not as much as the other group.
Now for the judges’ commentary. Lil Mama says We Are Heroes tore it up and rocked. She’s speechless it was good. Shane thinks Beat Ya Feet needs to take what they’re doing to the next level. They need fuel without anger. He has to critique them honestly. JC says We Are Heroes incorporated the task and loved that they got sexy (for the first time) and tough. (Lil Mama puts a bra on his shoulder.) To Beat Ya Feet Kingz that he loves how they’re fighting and how they put their hearts on the stage which not everyone does. Both crews are fighting for the people they love.
Which crew will go home? The judges have made their decision. The crew staying for another week is…We Are Heroes. (I wasn’t too invested either way but I think I liked them a little better.)

3 Day Affair
Gone are the days when box-office hits were movies that easily lasted at least 10-15 weeks and most of them completing silver jubilee. In today’s times, it’s impossible to see such a thing happening.
We are living in a see-and-forget-world. The world has become so fast that the first weekend collections itself determine whether a film is a hit or flop! And most of the times, a person who hasn’t seen a particular movie labels it as good or poor by just looking its business over the first three days.
Let’s take two examples –Singh Is King and Kambakkht Ishq. Singh Is King was considered as the most successful Bollywood film when it released in 2008. The stamp of a blockbuster was granted to it just because its producers and distributors booked almost all theatres in the country with around 10 shows per day.
As expected, people stormed into the theatres in the first weekend as it was a hugely awaited movie. Therefore, it gets the status of one of the biggest hits ever in Bollywood. However, you will hardly hear any praises from those who have seen this. Singh Is King’s audience rating in Imdb.com is just about 5 out of 10. Any regular reader at Imdb will know that to have a rating of 5 over there cannot be said as good by any means.
Kambakkht Ishq is even e bigger example. Some critics are of the view that it’s a super hit judging by its business on the first three days. But do we have any appreciators for this so called super hit? On Imdb, the audience’s response is merely 3.6 out of 10 for this flick.
This proves that in today’s times, it’s not difficult to cook a box-office hit. All you need is a top actor, an exciting promo and a good marketing strategy. In fact, it seems some filmmakers are putting in more efforts in creating their film’s promo than the actual movie.
There is a dialogue in the movie Halla Bol (sadly, another sincere effort going unnoticed) by some side actor. It says “Aaj kal sab kuchh marketing pe chalta hai. Jab tak public ko achchhe-bure ki samaj aaye, teen din mein maal andar”. It cannot be more accurate than this when it comes to portraying this “3 Day Affair”.
Shiney's case transfers to a fast track court
The Mumbai court has transferred the case against Bollywood actor Shiney Ahuja to a fast track court, who is accused of raping his maid servant. The actor was serving his judicial custody at Mumbai’s Aurther Road jail.
Shiney Ahuja was arrested on June 14 after his maid servant filed an FIR against him in the Oshiwara police station. Shiney Ahuja’s delayed projects for 2009 are Har Pall and Classmates.
Maharashtra Chief Minister Ashok Chavan had promised that the case would be moved to a fast track after the National Commission for Women. Shiney’s bail application which is not accepted and has been pending with the Sessions court will come up for hearing at the fast track court. The star will be presented in the court in September and judgement will be delivered within two weeks.
